Let's Explore

Since my move to the city three years ago, I have been captivated by the hidden alleyways, towering fire escapes, quirky cobblestone roads, and steep (and I mean STEEP) hills. I am constantly snapping photos on my bike rides, walks to the studio and drives around town. And now, I'm putting these images into a series of paintings that I will be introducing at my October Open Studio. Here are a few:

This is the view I enjoy nightly from the rooftop of my house.

Climb Up With Me, watercolor, 21 x 26 in

I pass this weird, little alleyway every time I ride my bike to the Strip District. I love all the telephone wires and the beautiful, rusty beams overhanging the street.

Morning Walk, watercolor, 21 x 17 in

I was sitting at the hair salon chair, when I looked out the window and saw this amazing scene of light and shadow.

Dounton Way, watercolor, 13.5 x 12 in

If you would like a sneak peak of this series, or dibs on one of the paintings, let me know. Studio visits are by appointment. I would love to give you a personal tour.
